License & Log Analyzer for Polarion ALM

The License & Log Analyzer is a comprehensive reporting and analysis tool for Polarion ALM, designed to provide deep visibility into license usage, user activity, and compliance over time. Unlike Polarion’s built-in license dashboard, which only displays real-time or peak usage since the last server restart, this solution offers long-term historical analysis, making it indispensable for large teams managing complex licensing models.

By continuously collecting, backing up, and analyzing log data, this plugin helps organizations optimize license allocation, support audits, and make data-driven decisions about cost control and resource planning.
